[quote=Anonymous]* How much do you charge per hour?

* Are you willing to do light housekeeping duties if and when there is any downtime?

* Do you have reliable transportation and childcare for yourself?

* Do you drive? If so, would you be willing to bring us a DMV printout of your driving record please?

* Would you be willing to submit to our own independent background check?

* Do you have at least THREE professional references we may contact, preferably by telephone?

* What were the ages of the children you cared for in the past?

* What is your highest level of education?

* Why have you chosen childcare as your profession at this point in your life?

* What activities do you enjoy doing with children? What would a typical day include with my child?

* Would you be willing to come in for a trial day so you and my child can get to know each other?

* Do you prefer to be paid weekly or bi?

* We have a "no T.V." rule for our child. Would you be willing to respect that when our child is around?

* Do you have a reliable cell phone in case of emergencies?

* How would you describe your basic childcare philosophy? I.e, laid back or are you a stickler for rules?

* What sets you apart from other nannies?

* In all honesty, what is your least favorite part of working as a nanny, if any?

* Are you a good communicator with both parents and children?

* What are some of your favorite children's books?

OP aside from the questions, it is vital that you and the prospective nanny have good chemistry since overall, you will need to feel completely at ease with her since you are entrusting your child's life basically with her.

If you feel even the slightest red flag, don't worry about hurting her feelings. Your child's safety is paramount here.

Good luck.[/quote]
